• BW recommends to bump test the sensors before each day’s use to confirm their ability to respond to gas by
exposing the detector to a gas concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible and
visual alarms activate. Calibrate if the readings are not within the specified limits.
• Protect the combustible sensor from exposure to lead compounds, silicones, and chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Although certain organic vapors (such as leaded gasoline and halogenated hydrocarbons) may temporarily inhibit
sensor performance, in most cases the sensor will recover after calibration.
• BW recommends the combustible sensor be checked with a known concentration of calibration gas after any known
exposure to catalyst contaminants/poisons (sulfur compounds, silicone vapors, halogenated compounds, etc).
• The combustible sensor is factory calibrated to 50% LEL methane. If monitoring a different combustible gas in the
% LEL range, calibrate the sensor using the appropriate gas.

a Mises en garde
• Avertissement : Le remplacement d'un composant de l'appareil peut altérer sa sécurité intrinsèque.
• Avant toute utilisation du détecteur, reportez-vous à la section Sensor Poisons and Contaminants.
• Avertissement : Pour des raisons de sécurité, ce matériel doit être utilisé et entretenu exclusivement par du
personnel qualifié. Lisez attentivement le présent guide technique avant d’utiliser l’appareil ou d'en assurer
l'entretien, et assurez-vous d'en avoir bien compris les instructions.
• Ne pas utiliser le détecteur s'il est endommagé. Inspecter le détecteur avant de l'utiliser. Vérifier l'absence de fissures
et/ou s'assurer qu'aucune pièce ne manque.
• Si le détecteur est endommagée ou si des pièces sont manquantes, prenez contact avec BW Technologies by
Honeywell immédiatement.
• Utilisez uniquement des capteurs qui sont spécialement conçus pour le détecteur GasAlertQuattro. Reportez-vous à
la section Replacement Parts and Accessories.
• Étalonnez le détecteur avant sa première utilisation, puis de manière régulière, en fonction de l'utilisation et de
l'exposition du capteur aux poisons et autres contaminants. BW Technologies by Honeywell recommande
d'étalonner les capteurs régulièrement et au moins une fois tous les 180 jours (6 mois).
